A little bling goes a long way.

It looks good, you ended up with a very nice balance. I wouldn't change anything else.

I agree, keep the plate, but get rid of the centre brake bling!

I like it. I want to add the third brake light trim to mine. I have the CF letters on mine. I think yours looks great like this. I like the exhaust plate also.

To each their own,,for those that like the bling.Personally I like the new look better than the old too!! Exhaust plate and stainless letters are a nice balance for the large rear,,but that is the limit for me!!( and I haven't done it yet!

I'd pull the third brake light cover as well but it does look much better without the tail light covers.

I have the same car with stainless letters and exhaust plate w/no logo. Nice and simple and IMHO any more is too much. But everybody doing their own thing is what keeps life interesting.

Although I like the new look and agree that the third brake chrome should come off, it's your car.
Do what you like. After all, variety adds to the spice of life!

I agree get rid of the Bling but leave the exhaust plate. The reason I don't like the bling is because TO ME it makes the car look less like a sport/race car and more like a Caddy or something...... Don't want a Caddy!
